Step 3 - Spreading the mix
- Spread the paste to the substrate at bed thickness of 3-6mm (may vary depending on tile size and weight) with appropriate notched trowel. It also applicable up to 12mm in small isolated areas.
- Spread no more than 1m² at a time to prevent skin-over.
Step 4 - Installing the tile
